2. after that you have to Click Start/Run/notepad{OK}
3. then Launch msconfig.exe via the Start/Run menu.
4. subsequent to this Click the Services tab.
5. Hide all Microsoft services.
6. Identify the services that are irrelevant for others.

Net start "Remote Packet Capture"
9. Repeat Steps 7 and 8 for the remaining irrelevant services.
10. Click the Startup tab in MSConfig.
11. Identify the tasks that are irrelevant for others.
Example: realsched

in order to avoid typing errors.
